Favorites, Habits, & Cute Things

The latest favorites, habits, & cute things:

-All things Elmo...This is an ongoing love that includes books, toys, movies (especially Elmo's World: Wild, Wild West), etc.

-Grover...Known as "GoGo" around here.

-Winnie the Pooh...This is a fairly new favorite, and Hadley knows all the characters and what they say/do (i.e. Tigger-boing, boing, boing).

-Choo Choos...This includes any and all choo choos. He likes to see them, ride them, and make the proper noises ("chugga chugga choo choo" and "all aboard").

-Coloring...Also not really a new thing, but we only color Elmo, Pooh, or ChooChoos.

-Food favorites are corn dogs, noodles, peas, ketchup, ranch dressing, black olives, popcorn, marshmallows, and almost any breakfast food (pancakes, eggs, donuts, cinnamon rolls).

-Animal noises...Currently Hadley can tell you what sound many animals make including puppies, cows, kittens, horses, pigs, sheep, goats, fish, turtles, owls, dinosaurs, birds, chickens, roosters, lions, snakes.

-Body parts...A favorite thing is to point out body parts on, not only himself, but on everyone else as well.

-Poo Poo...Yes, I said poo poo. The latest trend is to inform us when he needs to go, leave the room (or go into the corner or behind a chair), then come back and point out where (in his diaper) the poo poo is. While not really the most exciting thing for many people, I see this as a very good and exciting thing as we start thinking more and more about potty training.

-Ride...Hadley loves to go for a "ride" with daddy, which is basically backing the pickup out of the driveway, going down our little road, and then pulling back into the driveway. Of course, Hadley likes it because daddy lets him sit on the middle console in the front. Good times!

-Night Night...Often Hadley "pretends" to go night night in the corner of his room. We find him there, being super quiet, just waiting for us to find him (all while he pretends to snore as well!).

-Go..."Go daddy, go mama!"

-Telephone...Pretending to talk on the phone & carrying on a little conversation.

-Singing & whispering to himself...Most often this takes place in his bed first thing in the morning. Super cute to just listen to him when he doesn't know it!

This is what we did tonight. Fun!!

Summer Fun

We found a fun way to spend Saturday mornings this summer, to beat the heat. Wanna' join us?

Happy Birthday PaPa!

This past weekend we went to Quanah to surprise PaPa Max for his 60th birthday. Hadley & PaPa are buddies (as you can see in the pictures!).



Trying out PaPa's new toy




...and there they go.

Blog Slacker

Yes, I know, I have been terrible at this blogging thin lately. Sorry (to the 3 or 4 of you who still read this).

My dear friend, Robin, took some picture in June so I thought I would share a few of my favorites. Enjoy!

20 Months!!

I can't even begin to believe that Hadley is already 20 months old! When did that happen??

I took a little stroll down memory lane today...

Abilene, Interview, Bluebonnets, & Cousins

Last weekend we went to Abilene because Eric had a job interview in Moran for an ag teaching position. We saw LOTS of bluebonnets on our way so we stopped along the rode to take some pictures. We also got to hang out with the cousins Bailey, Emma, & Seaver. We had a fun weekend.
